BREAKING The San Francisco District's Attorney's Office on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant for Collier Gwin, the art gallery owner who was filmed hosing down an unhoused person last week.
Gwin will be charged with misdemeanor battery for the alleged "intentional and unlawful spraying of water on and around a woman experiencing homelessness," DA Brooke Jenkins tweeted.
She adds, "The alleged battery of an unhoused member of our community is completely unacceptable. Mr. Gwin will face appropriate consequences for his actions. Likewise, the vandalism at Foster Gwin gallery is also completely unacceptable and must stop -- two wrongs don't make a right."Once he is arrested and cited, his arraignment will be scheduled.
"You've seen it, you've viewed it, you've read about it. Now it's time for us to put into context what San Francisco must do," said Rev. Amos Brown, Third Baptist Church pastor. "It took us back to the days that when in Birmingham Alabama that sheriff hosed down civil rights workers back in the 60s."RELATED:
